| Description |
Gateshead 1990, the fourth in a planned series of Garden festivals, is also the fourth occasion on which artists have been invited to participate, their contributions here presented under the title'Festival Landmarks '90'. With over 70 installations, 50 of them specially comissioned, and an extensive craft project, Festival Landmarks is the most ambitious visual arts programme devised for any Festival and has been developed at a time when the environment itself, responses to it, and the role of the artist as mediator of those responses are the subject of unprecedented political debate, public scrutiny and intellectual inquiry.
